1091 Construction Project Manager

Our client is an experienced self-storage owner, developer, and operator with headquarters currently located in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, CA. The company was founded in 2007 to identify and acquire underperforming and mismanaged storage facilities of Los Angeles.

Our client is well-capitalized for future growth and will continue to acquire existing sites and land for development throughout the West Coast and is prepared to expand into other major MSAs throughout the nation.
